Help Sara Tarnacki's Family During This Tragic Time

Susan Hill is organizing this on behalf of the family of Sara Tarnacki.

On Saturday, November 23, sometime during a long, difficult night, our sweet Sara and her infant son, Ronald III, died unexpectedly due to complications in childbirth. Sara's family—her parents and brothers, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, her cousins and friends—are heartbroken, especially her children.

Sara leaves behind her son Caleb, 21 years old, her daughter Lily, 13 years old, and Riley, who is 7 years old. Caleb has been tasked with the burden of taking care of his mother’s final expenses. The family is trying to put together what they can, but it is not nearly enough. Sara’s parents and grandparents deal with serious illness, making it even harder for them.

This is an exceptionally hard time for this family, but of course, there is never a good time to lose someone you love.

I have known Caleb since he was born and have watched him grow up to be a kind young man. He has not had it easy, but he has always been kind. He has a heart that wants to make his mother proud, to be able to take care of her now when she needs him to and to give her a proper final goodbye, but at 21, he just does not have the means.

I have always known this family to be generous and to give of what they have to help others, but they are in a hard place. I am putting this out there in hope of helping to lift their burden some. If anyone would like to contribute anything at all to help cover the costs of a funeral for Sara and her baby, I know that this family would be very blessed and extremely grateful. I want to thank you for taking the time to read their story.
